Ok, so I am just vain enough that I need to fancy up occasionally.  I have been a Mary Kay customer for years, and they're not gluten free.  

So, I need all the recommendations.  What products have you loved? Hated?   I'm especially interested in concealers. eyeliner, mascara, lip stain, clear lip liner, eyeshadow, and face powder. Also, face and eye creams/serums.  

Thank you!

I may not be the most qualified person to answer, but we had a site sponsor a while back called Epilynx, and we did a ton of product reviews which you can see in this category:

https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-food-reviews/ 

They make a line of GF cosmetics, lotions, serums, makeup, etc.

There are a few good lines of gluten free makeup. Epilynx is good, and I have used it; also Tarte and Pur Minerals.

Gabriel Cosmetics and ZuZu Luxe have certified products.  I use them regularly.

On their FAQ page:  Are your products Gluten-Free*?

Gabriel, Zuzu Luxe and Clean Kids Naturally have been certified gluten-free by the Gluten Intolerance Group. According to GFCO’s website their certification seal, “stands for the independent verification of quality, integrity, and purity of products. Products carrying the gluten-free logo represents unmatched reliability and for meeting strict gluten-free standards. GFCO is the leading gluten-free certification program in the world.” Gabriel Organics Skincare and Gabriel nail polishes are gluten-free they are not certified.

Skincare line I use is Alastin. The eye cream and moisturizer are great. All products really. I use them all and have no issues. Can get them online at Alastin.com  They have a great sunscreen/ tinted daily that is a great makeup base as well. It has a nice natural matte finish.

Sunscreen daily I use Elta. They have a plain and a tinted. I’ve used both. Works great as makeup base. 

Blush I use is Chantecaille cheek shade - tell the counter person that you are gluten-free. 

I use some Sisley Paris products as well- seem to be clean. Again, mention gluten-free to the counter person and they’ll go over ingredients with you. 
 

I shy away from anything that says it’s completely organic. They sometimes use barley as a later ingredient instead of gluten. Or oats.
Even though they aren’t ‘technically’ wheat according to the industry, both of those things cause a reaction in my skin.

I have not found my favorite make-up yet (don't even wear any anymore with Covid). But as far as face and eye creams and serums, I love to go all pure and natural - and not just the kind that marketing says is clean and natural. I use MIG for all of my soaps, lotions, serums, health balms and nutritionals. It is all 100% pure, toxin-free using the highest quality ingredients. The has even gotten rid of those nasty bumps on my daughter's upper arms. This is the website I use: https://migliving.com/. It is what it says it is!!

Hello! Thank you so much for asking! We have a very simple process. I wash, tone if I want, and do serum and/or facial lotion bar at night. The best part is the process is results proven, but you don't need to buy several different products. Our products are formulated from 100% pure, plant based products that work, so you don't need separate day, eye or night creams. I would be happy to share some real life testimonials if would like!

I am extremely sensitive to products and I use Derma-e. They have a really great skincare line. I’ve tried most of it and I have had no reactions. Make up is a whole different story. I’m on here looking for a good gluten free mascara because my eyes are killing me right now! Lol. Good luck on your search. I do use mineral fusion products and they are pretty good. No reactions except to their mascara. Hope this helps ♥️

For skincare, I use Alastin products, including their eye cream and moisturizer, which are fantastic. Their tinted sunscreen doubles as a great makeup base with a natural matte finish. I also use Elta sunscreen daily both plain and tinted. For blush, Chantecaille’s cheek shade is my favorite just let the counter person know you’re gluten free. I also like some Sisley Paris products again  mention your gluten free needs. I avoid completely organic products because barley or oats can cause reactions for me. I recently picked up some Alastin products from GMA, and they’ve been working really well!

      diagnostic testing variance

      For years, I have dealt with various gluten related symptoms like stomach pains, bloating, IBS-C "ish" digestive issues, low iron, low Vit D, joint pains, brain fog, and more. I finally got a double scope and stomach looks clear, but I have some lymphocytosis of the duodenum. I am wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone, where I have not shown celiac...

      Does Kroger Offer Affordable Gluten-Free Options?

      Kroeger has quite a few Gluten free items. Right now they are redoing my Kroeger store and are adding everything into the regular sections. Since this was done some new ones have been added. Publix and Ingles also have great selections. I actually shop Walmart and Food City to since prices on some items vary from store to store.

      Neurologic symptoms - Muscle Twitching and Hand Tremors

      Sorry but I don't have specific recommendations for doctors, however, starting out with good multivitamins/minerals would make sense. You may want to get your doctor to screen you for where you different levels are now to help identify any that are low, but since you're newly diagnosed within the past year, supplementation is usually essential for most celiacs...

      Test uncertainty

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got...

      diagnostic testing variance

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry you’re going through this—it sounds like you’ve been on a really challenging journey with your health. Your symptoms (stomach pains, bloating, low iron, joint pain, brain fog, etc.) do sound like they could be related to gluten sensitivity or another condition like non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS). It’s interesting that your bloodwork hasn’t shown celiac markers, but the lymphocytosis in your duodenum could still point to some kind of immune response or irritation, even if it’s not classic celiac disease. The fact that your symptoms improved when you went gluten-free but returned when you reintroduced gluten (especially with the donut incident) is a pretty strong clue that gluten might be a trigger for you. It’s also worth noting that symptoms can be inconsistent, especially if your body is still healing or if there are other factors at play, like stress, cross-contamination, or other food intolerances. Do you have more info about your blood test results? Did they do a total IGA test as well?

      For years, I have dealt with various gluten related symptoms like stomach pains, bloating, IBS-C "ish" digestive issues, low iron, low Vit D, joint pains, brain fog, and more. I finally got a double scope and stomach looks clear, but I have some lymphocytosis of the duodenum. I am wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone, where I have not shown celiac red flags in bloodwork IGA tests. WIll be following up soon with GI Dr, but so far, my symptoms are intermittent. I go back and forth with gluten-free diet (especially this past year.... did two tests where the stomach pains I had went away without gluten in diet. HOWEVER, I added it back a third time and I didn't get the pains)   Anyway, I am so confused and scared to eat anything now because I recently had a few bites of a yeasty donut and I immediately got so sick. Any thoughts??

      Test uncertainty

      By trents · Posted

      Yes, I can imagine. My celiac journey started with a rejection of a blood donation by the Red Cross when I was 37 because of elevated liver enzymes. I wasn't a drinker and my family doctor checked me for hepatitis and I was not overweight. No answers. I thought no more about it until six years later when I landed a job in a healthcare setting where I got annual CMP screenings as part of my benefits. The liver enzymes were continually elevated and creeping up every year, though they were never super high. My primary care doc had no clue. I got really worried as your liver is pretty important. I finally made an appointment with a GI doc myself and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive. That was in about 1996. After going on a gluten-free diet for three months the liver enzymes were back in normal range. Another lab that had gotten out of whack that has not returned to normal is albumin/total protein which are always a little on the low side. I don't know what that's about, if it's related to the liver or something else like leaky gut syndrome. But my doctors don't seem to be worried about it. One thing to realize is that celiac disease can onset at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but there is also an epigenetic component. That is, the genetic component is not deterministic. It only provides the potential. There needs also to be some health or environmental stressor to activate the latent gene potential. About 40% of the population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually do.
